5 FAQs About Online Craps

As one of the more complex gambling games, online craps continues to confuse many new players to the game.

Whether you choose to gamble in Las Vegas casinos or through online casinos, craps has many rules and things happening at the same time which, if not properly grasped, can result in a player betting incorrectly and thus losing money.

Here are 5 of the most common FAQs about online craps:

1. Does a mathematical or statistical advantage exist for craps players?

In a word, no. Any professional craps player will tell you that a player has no edge in a traditional online craps game. However, there are a few ways to create a slight edge if the game is played unconventionally. For example, the majority of craps players remove their ‘don’t come’ bets should they hit on the 6 or the 8.

Often, experienced players ‘buy’ a bet off the don’t player and therefore continue playing with an edge. To become an above average to good craps player, there is little substitute for researching the game and listening to what the experts say.

2. What is a 5-count?

This is a way to choose shooters that a player is prepared to risk betting on. The majority of players who shoot opt to ‘seven out’ too soon after they have established or set their point number. Most players then proceed to make losses on those players who are shooting.

Of course, the 5-count has been designed to prevent those ‘nasty’ rolls and take full advantage of the ‘good’ rolls. However, be aware that using the 5 count does not guarantee that you will win all the time.

3. How does the five count work?

This playing system works by understanding two key things about online craps. One, to bet on every player who shoots is a sure fire way to lose your money long term. Two, some shooters get into a throwing rhythm and may actually change the game odds. The trick is to recognize these shooters and bet with them.

4. Can people really control craps dice?

As crazy as it sounds, yes. There are players out there that eat, sleep and dream craps. Each and every day they spend hours practicing the art of throwing dice. As they say, practice makes perfect.

5. Tell me the smartest way to bet on a craps table?

Always choose the lowest casino edge bets which are pass/come or don’t pass/don’t come. The next step is to put odds behind those bets in order to get achieve maximum winnings in odds and the fewest on the actual line.
